The mother-in-law in charge of the daughter's village is in her sixties, but her body is still strong.

Su was kindly brought in and greeted her very respectfully.

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law in charge was stunned when she saw her, and actually stood up, Su Haoyi hurriedly took a few steps forward and reached out to help her.

The mother-in-law in charge took her hand and asked, "Did the Holy Aunt ask you to come?" ”

Su Haoyi was stunned, and didn't understand who the Holy Aunt she was talking about, so she had to ask with a smile: "Mother-in-law, I don't know the Holy Aunt, I came with Sister Long." ”

The mother-in-law in charge still didn't believe it, she still held Su Haoyi's hand and didn't let go, and said eagerly: "I haven't dared to forget the kindness of the Holy Aunt for so many years, but she never told me her real name. You look so much like her, you must be her descendant, right? She...... Is the old man okay now? ”

Su Hao's mother-in-law had tears in her eyes, her hands trembled, and she knew that she was moving her true feelings.

"Mother-in-law, what kind of person is the holy aunt you are talking about? How old is she? Su Haoyi was also curious about who the person who looked similar to him was.

"That was more than forty years ago," the mother-in-law in charge, swallowing tears from her eyes, recalled the events of that year: "I was sixteen that year, and I was chosen to be a sacrifice to the mountain god. I thought I was going to die, but in the early years there was a stranger who died in the cave, and before that there was no custom of marrying a mountain god. But since the man died there, the mountain has not been at peace. Some people say that this is the mountain god who blames, and somehow there is a saying that the mountain god is married. The women who were sent to the mountain all died on the mountain the next day, and there were no visible scars on their bodies, but they were covered in black and green. Their bodies were buried, and no grass grew on their graves for several years. I think I'm going to die like them, and become a lonely ghost.

That night I cried so hard that I was carried up the mountain. My mother cried and told me behind the sedan chair not to blame her, and to be reincarnated in a good family in the next life. When everyone left, I was still in a trance. Then I felt a chill on my instep, and something was crawling on me. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move, wondering if it was Grandpa Mountain God.

Then I heard the hissing sound again, and I knew it was a big snake. Those women should have been bitten to death by it, and I will definitely die. But at that moment, a man appeared out of nowhere. She killed the snake in a few strokes, lit a torch and shone it on me, saying don't be afraid, this thing won't bite anymore.

I asked her who she was? Isn't it a fairy? Because she was born so beautiful, she is more beautiful than the person in the painting.

She laughed, said that she was not a fairy, and asked me to call her a holy aunt. In fact, she was only about the same age as me at that time, and the word "Holy Aunt" was really a little old.

Later, she said that she wanted to send me back, and I said that I would follow her and be her girl for the rest of my life. She refused, saying that she didn't mean to save me, but to catch the snake, and that there were two treasures on the snake. One is the gall of the snake and the other is the small horn on its head, and I am also the first snake to see the horns again. She was so frightened that she told her that the horned snake was a dragon, and that if she killed it, she would be damned.

After hearing this, my stomach hurt when I laughed, and I was stupid. She said that the snake was originally caught and raised by a person, and she wanted to use it to do bad things, but she didn't expect that he himself was bitten to death by the snake, and she searched for several years to find here, and the stranger who died here before was the snake keeper.

She dug out the gall of the snake in front of me and ate it directly, and cut off the horns of the snake. He also told me that this snake is called to breathe the wind, the snake is bold, and the snake horn can detoxify.

She wouldn't let me be her subordinate, but I didn't want to go home again. My father and my mother sold me for three taels of silver, and it was the daughter of another family who was originally chosen.

I followed her all the way, and then she really couldn't help it, so she found me this place, and said that I would live here, and if I was lonely, I would go to the cave of the mountain god and bring someone back in three years.

I'm from a hard background, I've done everything, and it's not hard to survive in this place. I had to do everything by myself, but fortunately, my aunt left me a lot of silver, and I went outside the mountain to buy whatever I wanted.

Before leaving, the holy aunt also gave me the horn of the snake that breathed the wind, and explained that if I was bitten by a snake or had a poisonous sore, I only needed to put the flat side of the snake's horn on the wound, and it would suck on it, and the snake horn would slowly turn black, and when it was completely black, I would take it down and put it in the water, and the water would become as black as ink, and when the horn faded to black, I would put it on the wound. This is done several times, and when the horns of the snake do not turn black again, the poison is sucked clean. If you drink raw water and put the horn in it for a while, you will not have abdominal pain after drinking. ”

"So this holy aunt should be a skilled doctor, and she is about your age. But I don't know such a person," Su smiled kindly: "I didn't see my biological mother, she died shortly after I was born." I was raised by my grandmother, but I don't look like my grandmother at all. ”

"But you are really very similar to the holy aunt," the mother-in-law in charge was still unwilling: "What about the other elders in your family?" ”

"My family is thin and has no relatives," Su said kindly: "There are people in the world who look similar but have no blood relationship, and it is also our fate that my mother-in-law is familiar with me." I'm visiting you today because I have something to discuss with you. ”

Then Su Haoyi told his mother-in-law about his thoughts, and from now on, there will be no more wives for the mountain god, and the girls in the village do not need to be sent up the mountain as sacrifices.

"That's fine," the mother-in-law nodded and let out a long sigh: "The women who can come here are forced to come, this village started with the holy aunt saving me, and now there is a very similar look to you, which can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end!" ”

Su Haoyi didn't expect things to go so smoothly, it seems that there is a certain number in the dark.

Su Haoyi said goodbye to the mother-in-law in charge, it was not too early, Sima Lantai and they were only afraid of waiting.

It was still Long Qiaoyun who sent her out and pointed out to her how to go the rest of the way.

"Sister Long, thank you very much, let's send it here! Take care. Su Haoyi waved at Long Qiaoyun, and then strode away.

When she came to the place where she had made an appointment with Sima Lantai, she saw that the carriage was still waiting there, but Sima Lantai did not sit in the car, but stood on the side of the road and watched, with an obviously anxious look on his face.

"Childe!" Su Haoyi shouted while running: "I'm back!" ”

The moment Sima Lantai saw her, the expression on his face was like frost, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her a few steps and asked her, "Are you injured?" ”

"Okay!" Su smiled kindly: "It's just that the road is a little too much, and my feet hurt." ”
